I've posted at length on this subject a number of times so to be quite honest am both tired of doing so and a bit disappointed that some people refuse to believe what has proven to be true .
In short,everything you were initially told about the Hillsborough disaster was a lie . The lies about Hillsborough were told by Police, The Fa, The Press, The incumbent Government, and subsequent governments and the ambulance service. Furthermore not only were these lies told but certain members of the above joked, mocked and belittled and continue to belittle both those that died and their families.
Those that attempted to find out the truth were hampered at conceivable turn, to this day there are those who walked the highest corridors of power in this land who had a vested interest in the truth not coming out.
Heysel and Hillsborough are two completely different disasters . One has nothing to do with the other . Were Liverpool fans to blame at Heysel ? Yes . Were they at Hillsborough ? No. Not even a contributing factor.
The only crime committed by Liverpool fans who went to Hillsborough was they went to a football match . It wasn't and isn't illegal to drink before a game. The version of events that ticketless pissed up Liverpool fans were one of the reasons behind Hillsborough has no basis in fact. None. Were there drunk people at the game ? Undoubtedly . Was it a contributory factor ? No. Once again there has been proven to have been a distorted version of events perpetuated to suit a certain number of people.
Imagine if it was your son or daughter that was killed through no fault of their own and the powers that be not only covered up the events surrounding their death but made every conceivable effort to discredit you and other people who had suffered the same loss as you. Imagine if they told lies about your dead son or daughter. Said they were dead by such and such a time when you have evidence that they were alive and may well have been saveable. How would you feel ? What lengths would you go to to find those responsible ? How would you feel if you knew you were being lied too ? If every avenue seemed not too embrace you in your horror and grief and desire for the truth but to turn you away. If the national press branded you as scum ? If time and again you and your family were branded as moaners, complainers or in this very thread compared to crying children or allusions made to you being on the make? When in point of fact you have been a victim of one of the biggest conspiracies in British history. Would you stop ?
There have been people who have gone to their grave not knowing the truth of how their child died . Just think on that. You're dying , your child has died in tragic circumstances, you know that there is fabrication around the circumstances of your child's death, that people may have been responsible and you also know you will NEVER find out the truth, you will go to your grave not knowing. That was the reality for several of the campaigners.
I don't know how anybody truly assesses the level of retribution or justice the families of the 96 are entitled too but after 27 years of denial and lies the absolute minimum they are entitled too is respect from people who should understand them best. Fellow football fans. To repeat information that has been proven to be untrue makes the person doing so complicit in the lies. It makes you in your small way part of the conspiracy.
People will still refuse to believe the truth and it is the truth....
Liverpool fans were the victims of the Hillsborough disaster not the cause.
JFT96, may they rest in peace.
